I hope you and your families all enjoyed you summer. Our next meeting will be held on Friday, September 23rd.  Chuck Parnow had his hands full swearing in 14 new members at his debut running the June Division meeting. Welcome aboard to Des Pegley, Tom Anderson, Ray Hollywood, Jack Joyce, Tim Coyne, Pete Dolan, Pete Kearney, Liam Mulcahy, Pierse Spillane, Mike Henry, Chris Alexander, Conor Fitzgerald, Ryan Sheehan and John Mavretish.  Many thanks to all the members who traveled to the National Convention.
